What to do about an open child support order?
I have an open child support order. The order is from 6 years ago and due to life curves, I have been on and off with payment. I have DNA proof that none of the 3 children I am paying for are mine. I don’t know how to go about getting the order stopped. I live in another state nowand will not be able to go back to attend the court hearings which really puts me at a disadvantage. If you could please give me some advice I would greatly appreciate it.

I suggest that if you personally cannot get to the actual presumed child support hearings that are scheduled against you that you consult with a family law attorney that practices in the county and state where the proceedings are scheduled and retain him or her to represent you in the matter. That would be the easiest way to resolve your inability to attend the hearing. Your attorney can attend for you.
